I actually went as far as to track down one of the writers for the show and pitched the idea to her yesterday. She is co-producing some of the episodes this year, so who knows...maybe she will give SFM a call.

The whole character of House is one in that NO ONE seems to be able to be a pressure point for him except HIMSELF. I mean, his character has HIS own morals, makes fun of everyone and is generally a self centerred, egotistical jerk of a boss.

BUT..............

There is also a great depth to his character. Take his relationship with Wilson. I mean, you really see the true character when he finally stops putting up a front to protect himself. Though if you told him he was doing that he would most likely mock you to shameful silence.

Thirteen stood up to him, but now she is leaving. Most of the other characters cave in at the least bit of pressure.

What House needs is a good antoagonist/protagonist to boost this show to a whole new level. Have House finally be put in his place by heaven forbid---someone who may just know more than he does---wouldn't that be a change.

I say all this about his, but in all reality----I love Hugh Laurie as an actor. I am with Laura. I love his wit. I love his quick comments. In Sense and Sensibility he is always dropping one liners under his breath. In the Borrowers he does the same. He is almost hysterical in that one as he torture Jim Goodman. 101 Dalmations he was priceless.

But you see, the character is so strong and so fixed, there needs to bes something, someone just as strong as he is to give him tit for tat.

I think Stewart is definitely strong enough for that role. We've certainly seen him in that role enough lately. I mean, when someone is looking down their list for the necessary actors in their show, when they come to the slot for an angry, intense, fiery witted individual---whose name gets slotted there. Stewart's. Talk about typecasting.

Still........this is definitely an idea to toss around at the writers.

See, see, see, !!! So many directions, levels and lines, twists and turns this could go!!! Stewart has the backbone, depth, talent to stand up to House like no other actor I know. Some could put on a show but to be believable, gotta be our Doc. Good on you girl, great idea, could be one heck of a finale year!! Hope they take this into consideration.

So do I!

I completely agree. To stand up to House, the character has to be strong, and yet a fan favorite. We love to HATE House. We need an antagonist that we love to love. Kind of a "yeah--take that House." and yet...someone that they could both learn through.

If only he was acting still.........

We'll have to see. Have to put a few more bugs in the HOUSE director's ears. :)
